How to avoid the worst of it today

Marienplatz Before 11:00 St Peter's tower and the Viktualienmarkt for breakfast, before the chimes bring the tour tide.
The Residenz Afternoon Ninety rooms indoors, or the English Garden outdoors; both outscale any crowd.
A beer garden Late afternoon A litre and a pretzel in chestnut shade; there is room for everyone and no booking.

Where the crowds are

Marienplatz at the chimes: The 11:00 and 12:00 Glockenspiel gatherings, then a dense afternoon.
The famous beer hall: Tour-group tides nightly, year-round.

Quiet places in Munich

The English Garden's depths: Beyond the surfers' bridge the park is bigger than any crowd.
The Pinakothek quarter: Three great galleries, rarely a line.
